How this works...

We make it easy!

You can pickup our rental gear at our retail store in Tempe for free or we will ship it to you just about anywhere in the US - there are shipping costs, but it will save you from driving around town picking up and returning gear.  Very convenient!

At checkout, you can select among several pickup and drop-off options, and compare delivery costs - all without entering any personal information.

Typical pickup points can include your home, office, hotel or our carrier's pickup point along your way, or sometimes even right to your campground host.

For ship-and-return options, we include a prepaid return label - just swap out these labels and drop off for return shipping after your camping trip.

See full details on shipping and returns.

This is the best thing going for boiling water on the trail - the primary lead-up to dining on anything other than snacks or sandwiches. Whether for adding boiling water to a pre-packaged freeze-dried mix or for coffee or tea, renting this versatile "kettle" gets the job done. (You can add freeze dried meals - Mountain House/Backpackers Pantry, etc - on to this rental order.)  Featherweight at 4.2 ounces, this titanium large cup/small pot/mug holds 3 cups of liquid, and readily conducts heat to the water for a fast boil. This size is adequate for most trail applications - most mixes are looking for anywhere from 1-2 cups, so it's perfect for that. The standard fuel canister for the backpacking stove we rent nests inside the kettle for maximum space efficiency. The lid fits like a tight glove, and will not fall off when pouring. The kettle has two folding handles that remain fairly cool for handling.

But, this is not the pot to rent if you plan on cooking inside of it - say scrambled eggs, cheesy things or anything else that might stick. Uncoated titanium is great for a fast water boil, but it's a bear to get the gunky stuff off of it. For that kind of cooking, use our less-sticky cooking set options. Also, these aren't designed for cooking over an open flame - it won't hurt it, but it takes forever to clean; you won't want to and if we are stuck doing it, we charge a $10 fee to clean creosote/heavy soot off of pots and pans.  For maximum flexibility, rent different types of pots and pans; especially handy if there are several in your group.  We also have some low-priced stainless steel cups for rent - perfect for morning tea or coffee.

You can normally meet the needs of two hikers with one stove and one pot; any more than that and the waiting times start to become a problem. If you plan on car-camping and have a larger group to cook for, consider renting the two-burner base camp stove instead.

As an alternative to a second pot, take along a small plastic bowl or other container for holding any mixes and the boiling water and eat straight from the plastic container after mixing.
